Revealing mistake: When the movie starts, Carl and Sam exit the subway station. A few members of the public/extras/background can't help but stare at the camera during the time it pans past them, firstly the man at the back as they are arriving up from the stairs, then the man with a hat, then the truck unloader on the right of the screen before they look at the red car. They all either seem to be starting at the camera, or looking or for thier cues to start acting.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: On the ladder, when Mola Ram tries to grab Indy's heart, Mola's hands and Indy's chest are very sweaty and dirty in the close-ups, but dry and quite clean in the wide angles.
Continuity mistake: After the monkey chase scene, after Spalko's jeep lands on top of Indy's, Indy, Mutt, Mac and Oxley start to raise, but when the angle changes they're crouched again, plus in a completely different position.
Continuity mistake: Spalko steps on a tree to free herself from the ants, 2 meters away from where a soldier is starting to be eaten. A frame later the soldier is gone, there's not even a small mound where his corpse could be.
Continuity mistake: Oxley takes the skull out of the bag and places it behind his hand to scare the ants away. When the angle changes there's a brief glance of his right hand and the bag is gone.
Continuity mistake: When the aliens kill the Russians, the group is launched out of the temple thanks to a jet of water. Seconds later they're all completely dry.
Continuity mistake: When the group enters the final temple the skull falls into the water. Mutt picks it up, and there's a shot of Mac grabbing some gold. Then back to a wide angle and Mac is repeating the previous movement with a totally different hairstyle.
Continuity mistake: After young Elizabeth tells young Will "I'm watching over you", there's a strand of hair over his ear, which appears and disappears randomly depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: Young Will lays unconscious by the edge of a blanket. When the angle changes there's much more blanket behind.
